wheel bolt pattern

i have a 2002 f-150 with a 4.2L and my question is the following: will i be able to change my truck to a smaller bolt pattern so i can fit 20" wheels that were installed in a ranger? any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!

No. However, you might be able to find an adapter

No, you need 5x135mm bolt pattern wheels. I wouldn't recommend adapters on a 5000lb truck.

the explorer bolt circle is 4.5 inch. the older (prior to 97) F150 is 5.5 inch, the new F150 are 135 mm. (5 bolt till aabout 2004, then 6 bolt pattern, same diameter) nothing interchanges-- dont use the adaptors.
